With help from pop sensation Katy Perry, President Barack Obama drew 20,000 people Saturday...

[Snip]

“It’s good to be so close to home!” he shouted to roars inside the Delta Center in downtown Milwaukee.

[Snip]

That claim was also reported by the Hollywood Reporter and various other outlets.

Only one problem: the capacity for the Delta Center in Milwaukee is 12,580.

My small but analytical mind says that "most" of Oblunders crowds are there to see a free show.

LOL !

Try this on: Last night in Morrisville, PA 30,000 folks showed up for Romney's rally in spite of the fact of the Marshall Tucker Band being the warm-up act !

How's that for a motivated base ? !



(just kidding .. old MTB fan from way back .. but like me, they ain't gettin' any younger ;-)

Chicago papers reports that 20,000 turned out to see Obama in Milwaukee. The only problem is the venue holds only 12,500.

FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.

So 12,000 showed up to see Katy Perry? That’s not surprising.

They wanted to see Elmo
